Earlier last week I finally went out and bought LDoN and got off to a smashing start and was 3-0, but what good is a weekend without a few deaths... so bring on the weekend!
/ooc 38 pally lfa, pst only if you are a complete nutjob and should probably be concentrating on medicating yourself rather than playing a game.
I'm getting a pretty good instinct for the game, which hasn't helped me out one single bit because I am constantly ignoring my inner voice, resulting in many painful deaths and much time wasted. So in I go for my first LDoN group of the weekend:
Me, a necro and a zerker. We figure it wouldn't take too much longer too fill out the rest of the group and we could be on our way. About 30 minutes later, the zerker is stuck in the flag at the BB camp and we have added a hapless ranger to the mix (not hapless because she was a ranger, hapless becuase she existed in her own world where I nor the the group existed).
Inner voice: "Mulamen, get out of this group and go somewhere else."
Mulamen: "Nahhhh. what the hell, I'll stick around."
So 15 minutes more go by, still searching for a healer, and still trying to get the zerker out of the flag. This resulting in many changes in the leadership order of the group which in turn put the ranger in the leadership role eventually.
Well in comes a healer and a necro, so now we just have to invite them and we're off.
Mulamen: "Hapless ranger, please invite necro and healer"
Hapless ranger:
Mulamen: "Hapless ranger, they are right in front of me, please invite these two"
Hapless ranger:
(keep in mind, she's not AFK as i can see her running around doing who knows what"
Mulamen: "Hapless ranger type /make mulamen and let's get this going"
Ah HA! the two finally show up in the group, but ranger is still the leader...
Inner voice: "Mulamen, you are going to get wiped you know"
Mulamen: ""
Mulamen: "Okay, ranger type /make mulamen and I can get the adv and we can go"
ALAS! The ranger is alive and I get us a collect and we head out.
Hapless ranger: "I need to auto follow somebody down there."
Inner voice: "Duuuuddddeeee, i'm telling you."
Mulamen: "Sure, just autofollow me."
Story shortening time, ranger still proceeds to get lost somehow, but eventually we all make it inside and start the carnage. It's up to me to pull, and who else but hapless ranger is the ML. Surprisingly enough we are kicking some major a$$ and get to near the end of the adv with about 30 minutes left.
Mulamen: "Hapless ranger, don't loot the last symbol until the adv is about over, we can clear this thing"
Hapless ranger: ""
One kill later and:
Your adventure was a success
/em grumbles
Mulamen: "Well, okay then, let's get the named and get out of here"
Hapless ranger: "What's that?"
Everyone: "What's what?"
Hapless: "A named, what is that?"
Hapless ranger is level 37, hapless ranger should know what a named is.
Mulamen: "Thing that drops some good stuff."
We kill the named, get the drop which is a gem for the casters so i pass, zerker passes. Ranger rolls... oi vay.
Luckily the necro won, but...come on now.
We escape with our lives and a win in spite of ourselves and I respond to my inner voice with a proud:
"Take THAT inner voice!"
Next day, back in camp. Get group and head to dungeon... something bad about this group though...
Inner voice: "Look man, I'm telling you this time, don't go."
We zone in... where's necro?
Necro: "DANGIT!"
Everyone: "what?"
Necro: "it says the file is missing, i cant zone in."
So we go on anyways, 2 pulls and WIPE! What just happened?
Seems as though we piked a hard after everyone decided on a normal...
Group dissipates in anger and i chalk up loss number 1.
I go and slay some crazed goblins to get to 39 and then proceed to die in queynos catacombs to ding 38!
Next day, back at camp, get a group of crazies, head to north ro, wipe. Despite me being only tank, wizard starts to demand that i pull faster... fail. loss number 2.
That night, get a group of 4 because someone is in a hurry for some reason. Warrior spends most of the time not responding and afk, then decides that he's going to pull, but doesn't tell us. Wipe, fail, loss number 3.
Mulamen goes to sleep, but as a level 39, finally with a good healing spell and the divine purpose spell which is fabulous.
